Her books are awesome! Simple and straight forward with tons of good information. Thank you April!
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! I have t daughter who is quite allergic to many things, and will frequently break out in hives in response to ???. When she hit her teens and started having an allergic response to seemingly everything😿💩, I took her to the allergy specialist (200 mi RT) and got her tested, so we knew what we were dealing with (dust mites, pet dander, mold, grasses...). Went thru desensitization rx, decreased contact with allergens (we DID keep the cat, who had adopted US😹😻), etc. I am an RN, who has always been interested in herbal medicine and natural remedies.😊 She has graduated from college now, and is out on her own. Lives in an old brick building (well over 110 years old with her cat, and works at one of the few family-owned small town newspapers, which is housed in an equally old bldg and stores a copy of every paper -printed issue they’ve ever printed IN the bldg! (Can we say ‘dust mites, mold, rodents and cats altogether?!?). YIKES! She has put on an extraordinary amount of weight, and is having knee issues, gallbladder, migraines, SOB, heavy menses, and generally doesn’t feel well.😢❤ My sweet, funny, tender-hearted baby is only 32, and I hurt for her!💔 Will pass along this video to her! Thank you! Blessings😘🙏😇😪🤧🙄🤗✌🏼🦠
Hi April. Thank you 😊for this video, just wanted to know, can I drink this daily for a few months?
YAAAAAAAASSSSS!!!!! this is my saturday morning JAM!! babygirl you should see how i’ve turned the “hood” on to you!!! “Thugs” are out here with gardens learning about herbs and such trying heal!!!!! BEST ‘ISH EVER!!!!
😉
Thank you SO much for offhandedly mentioning that nettle tastes different if you steep it longer. What a difference! This should be common knowldege.
My grandson has suffered from mastocytosis, since he was 3 months old. Body produces far to much histamine. It's horrible what this child went through yr after yr. He's 10 doing much better. I mean he deals with it.
April I love all your videos and all your knowledge. Thank you so much for sharing
Use stinging nettle for knee pain. Just break off top of plant and gentle rub over arthritic/sore area. Works like magic❤
@@michelefarrell6717 swatting you're knee with the stuff works too.
I am super excited to hear this vid !!!!! I just med a lady who has this histamine mast cell problem and got sent to the hospital because she got stung by a bee- anyway….. I told her to look you up April because you might have some advice to give her and she said she would look you up and here is this awesome vid that will help her!!!!!!!!! I’m super praying that she will find answers from you April how to heal. Thanks so much for helping others -
You are making our world a better place to live!!!!!!!!
Hello April ! I am beyond grateful everyday for your shared knowledge. I have a pretty good naturopathic/holistic doctor and you touch upon things that she doesn't even consider. I can't wait to try this for my "bakers and brewers yeast intolerance" that I think is caused by histamine issues. I came to this conclusion after a short correspondence that you and I had in the comment section of one of your videos, which took me down a deep dive on histamine. Thank you for that ! I just think you are the best !!!
You're so welcome! Also my brain says to check out my milk kefir video, could be that you're missing particular bacteria that would otherwise break down the yeast!
Something I need to make for my hubby’s swollen sinuses. Thanks April , you’re a life saver for my family . ❤❤❤❤
I always dump the finished product into a french press and keep it in the fridge. Very easy to strain it that way.
Awesome! Thanks April for the recipe. Got nettle cleared by my allergist and I am sooo ready for starting this daily. Allergic to all trees, grasses, shrubs etc. And yes I said all. The amount of meds I take is a joke. Need herbs in my life❣️ thank you for helping me be a better human.
How's it going for you? I know it's only been a month but have you seen a difference yet?
Having had an allergic reaction to some pharma drugs for arthritis, and coming out in an itchy rash, I think this may be beneficial. Always grateful ❤
I have terrible sinuses. Thank you for this video.
I just have to share this.I've been very busy in the gardens enjoying the last couple of days the weather has been perfect for being outside. Sending you pictures of my beautiful poke root plants. I'll be pulling up much of that before they go to seed. About 10 weeks ago I pulled up a beautiful poke Root and I've soaked it in some organic olive oil and calendula flowers and cloves. So I first made a salve by adding the beeswax to it and then cooling it in the pot in the refrigerator and then whipped that up until it was like whipped butter. It is absolutely amazing for pain. I've had shingles for about 8 days I'm almost over it now and I was just dipping my finger into the oil before I even put any beeswax in it for the pain on my shoulder and my back it has been amazing for pain. Happy prepping
Hello Mrs. April, I always thought I was lactose intolerant BUT after I found it was cats and pork that I then fixed I am able to use dairy without much issu. I can't eat a gallon of icecream but I use heavy cream, half and half and butter regularly without any stomach problems.
As for this tincture I'm going to try it because all of my children have allergies to many things that we all could benefit from this. Thanks for all of your help and motivation to use something other than a lab made pill!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Omg I knew you were one of us! I have watched your videos for a long time. You are literally my favorite!! I trust you because you are so knowledgeable and bring the science. I have the MTHFR gene too & hypermobile EDS/dysautonomia. I noticed your hypermobile fingers. I’ll be tested for MCAS soon, but I’m realizing for me pharmaceuticals are just not where it’s at. I will follow this recipe immediately. You are a such a godsend.
I super appreciate the tidbits about getting vitamins in check before you expect the infusion to work 👌 Thank you for thinking about the whole body as one system!!
Mahalo for sharing! When i found you i started with nettle infusions for allergies and giiirlllll. My hair loves it and the inflamation in my feet went away. I had zero sinus infections this past spring. It was amazing to be able to be outside in my garden without OTC meds.
Your videos and you’re research are always so in sync and relevant with what’s happening with my health and life…it’s so cool ❤ Thank you 😊
You're so very welcome 🤗
Ty as always! My dog has allergies so I made him some Nettle Tea (didn't have the skullcap) and he's not scratching his itchies as much. Ty for your suggestions & remedies that really work & help.
@joycewedel9084 please be careful giving nettles to your dog, they are not good for them.
You are an amazing beautiful soul!!! Thank you for all you bring into this world… May you truly truly be blessed
Thanks! This was so informative! Another thing that butcher coats don't address. I have histamine intolerance and suspect that I have MCAS. I spoke to a doctor about it and she said there is no need to test because they would treat it the same way, with antihistamines. I'm definitely going to try this, and I will start off reaaaal slow because it seems like I have reactions to everything.😮 Would love to know what you take for b-12.
That's absurd! I'd get my B5/B12/Vitamin C levels checked, I use B12 shots that I order from Amsterdam since we can't buy them in the US but test first because after supplementing tests are useless.
Should this tincture be kept refrigerated? Thanks!
I absolutely love you. Your knowledge is amazing.
Thank You!!! You’re a GEM💎☀️🦋
Could this help with mosquito bites? My 3 year old gets horrible, hot welts, and is so itchy. It's hard to treat her because she rubs ointments off and doesn't like cold packs.😢❤I appreciate your time, generosity and wisdom so much.
Thank you this is just what I needed !
Yay, I am harvesting stinging nettle out of my garden now.
Great info. I have mast cell activation syndrome, and this should be very helpful for managing my symptoms. Thanks
Much needed information my daughter will appreciate your help as I do.
Thanks again April Graham 😊
Really needed this. Thank you for making it so simple! ❤
Thank you ✨ I drink nettle infusions daily, I had no idea the skullcap could be boosting this. Looking forward to trying it out. Super interesting about the taste too. It's something I've observed, but didn't know why xx
This is just what I needed, I am having the biggest histamine storm of my life right now, not that I knew that until watching this video, this is the second time I’m watching, after the first time, I immediately ordered skullcap, I have nettle but am a bit scared to use it on its own 😬
I have the worst allergy skin rash and welts at the moment, and guess what, it came after I ate aged feta! I knew this but had no idea about the histamine intolerance. Thank you April🙏
I love your personality and your wonderful info
You are AWESOME! PS……. This girl just had bloodwork done and ( insert ringing bell) is vitamin C deficient ………. Despite taking 1000 mg horse pill a day. I will be trying some of this nettle. Thank you for the great information you provide!
Ordering Skullcap right now... Love you, April! Thank you!
Thank you! I have histamine intolerance and haven't found anything natural that works. Definitely going to try!
YES I am going online and buying some Chinese skullcap right now. I have mast cell activation syndrome and I for the most part have given up trying to treat it, I just avoid most foods and substances, but I very much appreciate the advice ❤ thank you ma'am, you are a goddess!
Hey hey! I discovered you on IG and today learned you have this TH-cam page (your story led me to this video ☺️). Love this!! I’m studying herbs and have been for some years, and I’m constantly learning new uses and combinations through fellow herb lovers. 🥰 Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Heya! Welcome to my little corner of the internet and I'm glad to hear the IG algorithm still shows me to new people on occasion 😂
Thank you for loving humanity the way you do April ❤
Thank you for this info. I've tried several of your suggestions, and they've always been perfect for me. Thank you.
I love nettle infusions. Been working with her at least weekly. Have found a settling with my allergies but also a rise in energy levels due to her nutrient density. Using her also for bone health. Amazing amazing herb 🌿 🥰
What a valuable knowledge you have shared with us, thank you so much! Becuase of you, my husband and I have been drinking nettle infusion daily (infused for 24 hours-ish). I noticed that I didnt' have any seasonal allergy symptoms this year despite that I was working in my garden everyday. May I pick your brain for a sever seafood intolerance that my daughter has? She gets a severe tummy cramp if she eats any food that 'touches' any seafood products (not just shellfishes). And now, even eggs give her discomfort too. Do you think that is a kind of histamine attack? She had seen allergists but they don't know why. If so, any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
You're such an amazing teacher! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge with the world.
I had no idea it tastes better the longer it sits. I'm one of the weird ones who likes short steeped nettle tea but now I really want to try this histamine fix with the long steep
Oh April you are a true Godsend to us all😇. My 78yr old sister was just diagnosed with focal eosinophilic spongiosis 😢. She has MS, Type 2 insulin dependent diabetic, asthmatic, legally blind with glaucoma, and understandable that she's depressed 😔 and wheelchair bound. Her Dermatologist took a biopsy a NB d now prescribed 40mg prednisolone a day omg 😱. Will this help my sister or do you have other recommendations? God bless you and thank you for pointing the way for healing and self help. All my love 💕 and gratitude. 🙏💚🙏
If you add your herbs... and add hot water just to 1/2 or 3/4 jar, you can stir to get rid of the air... then continue to fill to the top. (saves the overflow)
MTHFR or what we refer to it as the muther f'er gene... Have not tried this, but have been learning so much about nettles the past year. 100% going to try this. Thank you ❤
Good golly I LOVE YOU!! You might just be saving my life. I have Dercums disease and trying to cure what the drs say is incurable. I will become a member! I’d love all your info in a book. I need your info forever 😁🌻💛
I truly feel so smart every time I watch your videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us so freely. You're a God send to all of us!!❣️
Thank you I am going to make this
Thank you so much for sharing!
I use a dropper of oil of oregano (made by me) in morning and evening and it’s been very helpful with keeping my sinuses open and congestion down in chest as I am asthmatic. Going to try this recipe too.
@@sanorarae5478 yes, I infused fresh oregano (which I can harvest at county park next to me) with extra virgin olive oil for 2 weeks. Strain and put some in small dropper bottle and store rest in dark place and refill little bottle as needed. You can infuse longer than two weeks but that’s all I did to try it out. Keep little bottle in medicine cabinet for easy reach. I put under my tongue for a minute and wash down with a drink of water 😊
Happy belated Birthday!!! Hope yall are doing well and are safe. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and entertaining us so thoroughly with every eventful video!🎉❤
I'm drinking a strong oregano tea right now & it seems to be working quite well.
Chinese skullcap is SO AMAZING!! I had been taking it for MCAS and I ran out recently and had my first panic attack I'd had in ages, huge increase in insomnia. I couldn't believe how much it had been helping.
Have you come across any research on infusions vs tincures vs powdered root in capsules for chinese skullcap? I couldnt find anything on this.
Thank you SO much for the imfornation you share!!
I have not heard of using these herbs before. I use Mullein and Marshmallow for my allergies.
Amazing info about skull cap roots re: mast cells
Thanks for this. Will try because I have ongoing histamine issues.
I foolishly introduced akkermansia muciniphila right after having an acid purge reaction to whey protein that cleared out much of my microbiome. It also cleared out my mucin, so I experience each population explosion as a histamine reaction, making as much mucin as possible to protect my gut and feed them at the same time. I've been itching for months, especially on my arms. I'm trying your infusion as soon as I can get the skullcap root. Thank you!
You may consider homemade milk kefir (store bought is fake) just to get the bacteria more balanced out!
You are so knowledgeable and I have learned so much from you! I just ordered your books. So excited to get them. How do I become a member? Thank you, April for all you do!

Wealth of information ❤ How long does the infusion last? Also, where is the best place to buy bulk herbs like Chinese skull cap?
About 3-4 days and I like the quality from mountain rose herbs in this case ☺️
@@sheisofthewoods thank you for responding! 😊
Wow I just went down the rabbit hole of histamine - migraine connection, because of this video and my mind is blown! Time to purchase some nettle and Chinese skullcap. Do you mind sharing your source for the skullcap? And thank you as always ❤❤❤
Mountain rose herbs ☺️
I usually take stinging nettle and goldenrod, really helps my sinuses. Love my nettle, have tons in my yard
QUESTION ….off this topic but I have been seeing many good things about okra. Is their any reason why I can’t make a tincture off of it⁉️ I can’t consume it every day but I could take a dropper of tincture. Thanks for everything you do. You got me started on this journey ❤
Yep you can make a tincture out of okra ☺️
@@sheisofthewoods yay thank you….i have already but sure glad you confirmed it, I will be making more♥️😘😘
I made this today! Here is to a better hay fever season.
Thank you for sharing! I get so much encouragement and information from you! ❤!
You're so very welcome and I'm so glad to hear that ☺️
Love you already! So happy I found YOU! ❤
Hello! As always love learning from you. Question - what about Wild Basil? Thoughts? Have you used it for anything?
Hope your fairing ok with that fire. Stay safe
Currently dealing with MCAS! Thank for this :-) Always good to have more resources in getting it under control.
Yes! Im an April flower fan!!!❤❤❤❤
You're the best!!! Im allergic to everything and a lot of herbal remedies I can't enjoy due to weed/grass allergies.
Wow. Thanks for this video. I use both of these herbs, just not together. I'm going to try this.
Your amazing. Wish I would of met you when I lived in that area
Thank you April 🌻
Thank you ❤
You are amazing for sharing all of this information on a regular basis 🙏💖 Thank you ❤❤❤
Tincture vs. Infusions. Will we benefit from both
Thank you so much. Bless you!❤
Thanks April! Great, easy, practical information as usual!!! I appreciate you!
I’m so glad i found your channel. Awesome information! Thanks
I absolutely adore you, April! You are the best.
Thank you April. ❤prayers fir the fires to stop. Stay safe .
Thank you for this video! I plan to make this tea. I have never tried Chinese Skullcap root! I find it interesting you mention the vitamin deficiencies. I am deficient in Vitamin A and my blood levels don’t move with increased dietary intake or vitamin supplementation. Summer is always the most dangerous time of the year for me. Any suggestions on other ways to increase vitamin A would be most appreciated. Thank you again!
What kettle is that? I love it
Good information, interesting, and presented well. You have a pleasant voice, easy to listen to. Please kindly leave out the cuss words and your videos will be awesome. I like your video a lot but cannot listen to cuss words, nor can I share videos with cussing with my family and friends--and I'd really like to share your videos. I know many aren't bothered by it, but many are esp if they have children around. I appreciate this info. Skullcap has recently become one of my favorite herbs for sleep, but haven't considered it for histamine before. There are several in my family who deal with allergies year round. We'll give skullcap a try for histamine. Thank you! 👍
Heya, as a rule I don't change who I am or how I communicate for total strangers on the internet. Thanks for understanding 💚
@@sheisofthewoods Love your response, Never Change for Anyone and for what it's worth, I personally enjoy listening to you being you and all the wisdom and words that you express!
Thank you 💚✨🌿
Thank you!
Thank you, April!
I love the way you teach! Easy cheezy! Quick question, would hemp nettle do the same or is it poisonous? Thank you for sharing your knowledge! ❤
I'm not sure I've heard of hemp nettle, do you have the scientific name?
@@sheisofthewoodsThanks for replying! It's Galeopsis tetrahit. I'm getting conflicting info so I thought I would ask you in case you'd heard of it.
I bought elderberry dried. Then covered some with vodka to make a tincture. Now I've read it can be toxic if not cooked? Please advise.....have I wasted these dried berries?
Drying something is a form of cooking. ❤ April has some videos on Elderberry.
Thank you April! 🫶
I had heard that freeze dried nettle is best for allergies and histamine intolerance. What are your thoughts on that? I’m having a hard time finding Freeze dried nettle.
Love this!
Thank you!
Great video!
Right now I take 6 zyrtec a day for allergies. Allergist approved. (3 2x a day) or else my eyes itch and swell and I itch all over and get hives. I'm interested in trying this to see if it would help me.
Is it ok to leave it on the counter for 24 hours or should it be put in the fridge after it cools down? You are awesome! Thank you!
I like to put it in the fridge after it has cooled down ☺️
Is this something you can take daily for an extended period of time?
Thank you April! You’re THE BEST! ❤
Thank you, you work is appreciated.
💚 🇬🇧
April, can you make a video about how you got your B12 levels up?
I love your truth. Thank you for you straight forward attitude
Glad ur good TH-cam not notifying me! 😊
